v This invention relates to shipping cans- '.and particularly to that type which are adapted for shipping ice cream.

The-object of the invention 18 110 produce a can. for use in shipping ice cream which will have maximum-non-conduct' pro erties and thus enable the preservatlon 0 ice cream in its frozen state for extremely long periods. 1

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and com-- bination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and particularly claimed.

-. 1 In describing the invention in detail reference will be had tov the accompanying in which like. characters of' .reference enote corresponding arts in the severalviews thereof, and in w ich,

Figure 1 is a front elevation of an ice cream can constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2, a topplan view of the same; Fig. 3, a vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and, Fig. 4, a horizontal section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings, the body portion ofthe-can consists of the concentric cylindrical walls 5,6, and 7 each of which have their lower ends closed bythe independent spaced bottoms 8, 9, and 10 respectively. The upper edges of said walls-are all secured to a common annular plate 14 through the medium of which entrance to the space between the walls 5, 6 and 7 is closed. Before securing the upper edges of theconcentric'walls to the annular plate '14 the spaces between the walls 5- and 6; 6 and 7 and the bottoms 8 and 9 9.and 10, are

the ice cream receptacle when disposed in the interior of the can by tongs, or otherwise, the wall 7 is provided with diamet-- rlcally opposite recesses 12-and 13, while the annular plate '14 is al'so'provided with corresponding-recesses 15 and 16, extending outwardly to the wall 6 and registering at 13 their inner ends with the recesses 12an respectively. The bottom and sides of the recesses thus formed are then suitably walled to close the resulting openings into the space between-the walls 6 and7.

The top of the can is formed with the usual annular flanged ortion 17 adapted to telescope with the wal 5 whenfthe top is appliedand a transverse cover ortion formed of twocircular spaced mem rs 18 .and 19 between which is inserted a packing I of mineral wool 20. "An annular rubber gasket-21'is disposed on the under face of the member 19 and in position so as to be inner and intermediate casings separated by an'insulated packing, said side wall having diametrically opposit'e inwardly disposed recesses in its upper end formed by providing the, inner casing with oppositely disposed cut-away portions, flanges extending 0utwardly at the edges of said-cut-away portions. forming the side and bottom walls of said recesses; the'said intermediate casing constituting the outer wall'of the recesses.
